So, what if we import the EPS into Inkscape? Again, we use Poppler/Cairo import, and it looks good! Now, I can type my 9 in 34 point Source Sans Pro Light (34 point was trial and error, to be honest). On the right, and encapsulated PostScript file that has a custom box around it. Before I did this, the image looked like the left image here, now it looks like the right: Left - PostScript file that expects the image to fit on a standard page. Manually, by the way, using the File → PS to EPS menu.

So I use good old gsview to create a new, correct bounding box. ps file, but what it really needs to be is an. I can add the 9, but the image does not look right. I choose Poppler/Cairo import (seems to work better in most cases) and there it is! But the image has been sort of wrapped, so the right edge is meeting the left… huh? No, it’s cropped the right and failed to crop the left. So what can I do? Well, I can try to import the PostScript into Inkscape and add the requisite 9. So when I type 29, it has a 2 on hand because of the year 2020 being in the file, and 30 works because it has a 0 and a 3 from the previous version. The PostScript file has been set to include only the glyphs that are used. Why this? Well, if you look at the original you can see that there is no 9 in the correct font. Let me show what happens if I do: The 9 is missing - why? Now, you might think I can just type ’29 and 30′ where it says ‘3 and 4’ - but I can’t! Well, I can but it does not work. Here is a screen grab - we can see that the font is Source Sans Pro Light. Whether we use Inkscape or Paint, we want to match the font correctly. It has a colour picker to match the colour, and then you just work out what font you need and eyeball the size and type over the top.Ĭrude but effective. And I could just use Windows Paint! It’s actually not that bad. Now, this is a jpeg, but I do have a PostScript version too. I just want to change the dates from ‘3 and 4′ to ’29 and 30’ because the one on 3 and 4 sold out and we’re scheduling another one. The designer works in InDesign, but I don’t have access to that.
